Newly refurbished, comfortably appointed 2 bedroom apartment located in Melrose, approximately 6 miles north of Boston. The apartment offers easy access to Boston via 1-93; MBTA Haverhill Line commuter train (5 min walk to station); or subway (approximately 1 mile walk or bus ride to the MBTA Orange Line subway station). The apartment features a comfortable mix of mid-century and new furnishings and decor. There is a large closet in the queen bedroom. The second bedroom has a captain's bunkbed (twin bed over a full sized bed) and a small closet. You will find a pack and play in the closet of the second bedroom. The dining room comfortably sits six and includes a personal desk. The kitchen is well equipped for cooking and baking including automatic drip coffee maker, hand mixer, toaster oven and microwave. The kitchen door opens to our backyard and can be used as a second, private entrance. Our family of five lives upstairs, so please don’t hesitate to let us know how we can help make your stay more comfortable. In the summer and fall you might find us working in our backyard vegetable garden or kicking a soccer ball. We welcome you to enjoy our backyard and patio space as well! It’s an easy walk from the apartment to Melrose’s charming Main Street where you’ll find fantastic restaurants and local shops (Starbucks, Dunkin Donuts and Bruegger‘s Bagels, too). A few of our favorite Melrose Main Street spots include Turner’s Seafood, Mexico Lindo and Buckalew’s gourmet shop for wine, craft beer and gifts. Barre & Soul on Main Street and Fit Life (even closer) accept ClassPass. The Fells Reservation for hiking and seasonal boating on Spot Pond is a 5 min drive away. Please let us know if you are interested in additional recommendations and we’d be happy to share our favorite local restaurants and activities with you. Guests may park two cars in our driveway. Overnight parking on the street is not permitted in Melrose and could result in a ticket.
